Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Percentage increase in price = 5%

Percentage decrease in quantity demanded = 15%

Therefore,

Elasticity\ of\ demand=\frac{percentage\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{percentage\ change\ in\ price}

Elasticity\ of\ demand=\frac{15}{5}

                                           = 3.0

Hence, elasticity of demand facing Billy Bob's Barber Shop is 3.0

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Joint cost = 80,000

Orapine

cost of 5000 at 20 = 100,000

Incremental Cost of further processing =20,000

Incremental revenue = 5000* (25-20)= 25,000

Incremental income                                   5,000

Banango

cost of 10000 at 15 = 150,000

Incremental cost of further processing =  20,000

Incremental revenue = 10,000*(16-15) = 10,000

Incremental income = (10,000) loss

If  Orapine is processed further , there will be an incremental income of 5,000 compared to Banango that will bring an incremental loss of 10,00 if processed further.

Based on this , it is advised that Orapine be processed further while Banango is not
